Hi,

I’ve been trying the new Daredevil specialization and really like it. I feel that it provides good survivability (much needed for thief) but also, what I believe to be higher damage than the other weapon sets.

I stood at the target dummies for over an hour trying different weapon sets, but always came to the conclusion that staff does slightly higher damage than the rest, yet people on this forum say dagger does more, sword does more, pistol does more. What I’m trying to say is that I don’t see anything solid. Everyone says differently.

I’m curious about both open world and dungeons/eventual raids.

P.S. Another thing, why does everyone say Weakening Charge does high damage? It practically never hits all 3 hits, and even if it did it does less damage than Vault.

You gotta position it right. Don’t do it right when you’re next to an enemy. Do it a tiny bit away from them and every hit should land. Also, if you use weakening charge and wait till the first hit is about to get off, you can steal from a distance and your character will spin in place after teleporting and land every hit in that one spot.
